Social responsibility response has increased tremendously over the past years. Many companies now recognize the need to help and support the country by means of helping out the less fortunate and the "poorest of the poor" as a priority to gain a more significant improvement in the condition of society.

The most important need of the country is in Education. I am surprised why the government couldn't really address efficiently the needs of schools for a more meaningful Education system There will always be a lack of everything to the most important factor in society next to food and employment opportunities.
It is admirable to see companies and organizations who are willing to lend a hand to provide the much needed basic necessities.

Seeing an unexpected 35% rise in the student enrollment rate this year in Lipa City, Epson responded by providing school desks to three public schools.
